Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jasper-utils package and not the jasper-utils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Off-by-one error in the jpc_dec_process_sot function in JasPer 1.900.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG 2000 image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
